Glad to be here
Hi to all. I'm new to the site but have enjoyed reading so many of your posts. It's been very helpful. I am scheduled for Lap RNY surgery on 2/14/07. I'm nervous and having most of the feelings I've read about here requarding pre-op. ( you know: Last Supper syndrome, will it work for me, will I tolerate the surgery ok) I have my preop visit tomorrow. This decision is also difficult because I'm paying for it outright which means complications can get costly and I had better make this work. Whew!!!! I feel better now.

Rich,
I have my rny on 2/12 and I feel that last supper pressure big time but you know what I am sticking to my meal plan. I figure it will be a few less lbs that I will need to lose. I am nervous as well.
